Yes, but regardless of color chosen all edits turn to red after 5 - 10 seconds. My remote session with 2 different Microsoft support techs yielded nothing. The 2nd tech support person sent me to the Community.

Doug - thx for offering to take a shot. Attached is the doc. last Microsoft tech guy was stumped and is supposed to get back to after more research but haven't heard back yet. Still have the prob after reinstalling Office 365 and prob occurs with other docs also so it's not just limited to the attached doc. Appreciate any thing you come up with.

    I created the original doc and recvd the redline back from the person I sent it to (his comments are in red). Now I'm using track changes and my changes should show in blue but also showing his comments in red so we each can see changes made by each other. Thinking about this...maybe I'm not using track changes correctly?
